Fighter Background: Irish McKay is predominately a striker knocking out three of his four opponents. The 25 year old McKay now trains out of the Walter J Abramowitz Center for Bigness which currently houses 78 fighters and 5 champions total. McKay is sponsored by Beachside Supplements and Church of Zoidberg Warehouse. He is currently ranked number 7 on the Islands P4P list and 3rd for the Islands Middleweight Division. 

Q: McKay, talk with us. What is it like just being crowned the first Middleweight champion of Highland?
A: It's Mmkay. This is the start of a long season. We are just getting started and I plan on retaining the belt for the duration, so line'em up baby.

Q: Definitely look forward to you getting back in the Cage after your last fight for the belt. The fight for the title you moved in against the Pirate Markelic. That fight was pretty aggressive earning both of you cuts in the first round. Besides the title, was there anything else you took away from the fight?
A: I took away the fact that Markelic is the nicest MFer in the game from his post fight comments, he is Highland's very own version of Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. I almost feel bad for whooping his ass but let's run that back at some point this season as he's a worthy contender.

Q: Markelic was certainly the favorite going into that fight riding a three fight win streak with all three wins coming by first round finishes. Were you nervous about this or was it just another fight for you?
A: He was the favorite? Really bruh? I need to start getting some money down on my own fights. But yeah I was crapping my jocks backstage before the fight, I damn near followed through once I saw him drop unconscious on the canvas

Q: I think a lot of people were curious about you moving up in weight and taking on a warrior like Markelic away, but you definitely put those questions to rest. You started your career at 170 and found yourself moving up to 185. What was the reason for that change?
A: These weight cuts are brutal. I couldn't even have any of my granny's Irish stew in the leadup to the fights so I had to move up to 185. Potatooo!!!

Q: I would love to try some of that stew. I know you just said the weight cuts are brutal but could you see yourself ever going back to the Welterweight division, attempting to capture the gold there?
A: If the right opponents were presented I'd go back down to clear out that division later in the season. Highland's two weight world champion, let's make that happen.

Q: That would be amazing! Before we get that far we should say you have a long road ahead in the middleweight world. The 185 fighters are all fighting for recognition right now. There are two fighters in particular who your fans have been dying to see you compete against: the submission expert Lucas Barbosa and teammate of yours in Lucas Kuas. Who do you feel you match up well against and who would you prefer to fight?
A: I'd go through them both on the same night, wearing a 50lb weighted vest with me feet tied together. Are there any worthy contenders around? In fact, if any of them two fighters managed to take the belt off of me I'll send you $1m tycoon dollars, and you can quote me on that!

Q: I would hate to take any money if you lost so no deal for me. I would feel to bad. Regardless of who your next opponent is, what can fight fans expect from you when you return?
A: They can expect to see my opponent evacuated off the island via emergency helicopter, and to see me big Irish balls pop out during a wrestling scramble

Q: I am sure there are numerous women who are probably blushing at your last line there. We have to let you go now and get back to training but before we do, it is clear that you are a massive fan favorite and we know you love the fans. We just want to thank you for the time to be with us today and go ahead and give your fans a little shout out before you head off!
A: Cheers to the fans for the love, and for the hate. A special thanks to my sponsors for sorting me out with some totally legal supplements to aid my performance so far.
